Father's Day

This year, I'm kinda bummed because instead of getting to spend Sunday with the World's Number One Best Dad (it's official guys, for real), he'll be soaking up some sun and enjoying Las Vegas!  I love my dad, and I can honestly say that I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing if it wasn't for his positive example.  I followed in his footsteps to become a therapist, but I also inherited his weird sense of humor, generosity, and fun-loving attitude.  I guess being a dad to five happy and productive kids means you did something right Dad!  I wanted to share a little glimpse into my life with my main man Dennis the Menace (aka Dad)!

I've been so lucky to have a good man like my dad in my life these past 25 years.  I love him a lot and I'm so glad that I get to see him more often now that I've made the move back to my home state of Indiana.  However, I haven't always had the best boys in my life.  Sarah from Wearing It on My Sleeves did a great tribute to crappy exs  (seriously people, read the comments!) and it got me thinking:  I've had a few duds in my past...


Dear Frito Lay: All of your cool gadgets and expensive cars/TVs/electronics didn't make up for the fact that you were totally boring (and had hideous calf tattoos...)


Dear Mr.Cocky:  You didn't want a girlfriend when I met you, but as soon as I got a new boyfriend you wouldn't stop calling me.  I don't think your girlfriend now would appreciate that...


Dear High School: You were super cute, but I'm glad I moved on because I'm not sure that you're doing anything with your life right now.  Moving on!


Dear Turkish Delight: Always had a good time with you, but I never felt good about myself with you so splitting was best for both of us!  Sorry about the iPod dock, totally took it as a parting gift!

but...

Dear Frenchman: I love you :0)  I am happier each day I am with you.  It makes me laugh when people think you're a redhead because I know how mad it makes you ("We're a rare breed!"). I am so lucky to know you.

So what about you?  Dish about the great (and no-so-great) guys in your life!
